I intentionally wanted to avoid checking of some explicit file location (due the
reason the location would change - as it did already), and rather wanted to check
runtime kernel in the way libselinux is doing in init_selinuxmnt():
[1] https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/libselinux/+/master/src/init.c
The test should check only if current kernel has SELinux loaded - there will be
dedicated test for checking if SELinux is enforcing due reasons i will mention later.
Thank you && Regards, Jan.
